KCIC Biblioteca #144 Scritto dai tre giornalisti del Sunday Times: Bruce Page, David Leitch et Phillip Knightley. Introduzione di John le Carre La Storia: Kim Philby fu un agente segreto britannico, che acquisì la cittadinanza sovietica nel 1963. Da sempre comunista, fu al servizio del KGB e del corpo diplomatico del Regno Unito. Gli scrittori di questo libro hanno utilizzato una rara documentazione fotografica. Molto più appassionante di un giornale, e con una documentazione ricchissima, gli autor raccontano la vera storia di una doppia spia che tradì una generazione. Translation: This book “offers the first thoroughly-researched biography of Kim Philby, the Soviet master spy who served as the liaison between what is now MI-6 and the CIA in the early 1950s. Three reporters for the Times worked to track his likely period of initial recruitment, early signs that the intelligence services missed, and especially the odd events surrounding the defections of Guy Burgess and Donald Mclean. It is an absolutely fascinating spy tale, as interesting for its content as for its status as a primary source and window into thoughts and opinions of 1960s Britain.” By Nathan Willard, Goodreads. “Insight into Philby’s Community sympathies while at Cambridge as a reaction to the rise of Fascism in England and Europe during the 1930s is offered as a reason for his ideological preferences.” By Edward, Goodreads
